I know I was being both sarcastic and informative at the same time ;)

The only real advantage a CRT tv has over modern flatscreen or projectors is the ability to play the Light Gun games on the DC.

I'm lucky in that my CRT has a VGA input so I have the best of both worlds but I realise most folks aren't so fortunate.

Anyway, I far prefer playing DC games through my VGA box into a projector nowadays. You can't beat it !

fyi awhile ago i had a 2003 CRT Sony FD Trinitron Wega 1080I HDTV and it kicked plasma and lcd's ass. plasma and lcd just dont' have that natural anti aliasing effect as a crt would. lcd and plasma make everything look jagged. Gran turismo 4 in 480P looking amazing on my Sony tv

so you basically don't want to see the graphics as they are, I've hear this on many occasions, folks who hook up a dc through vga & suddenly start complaining they see pixels & polygons everywhere. isn't the point of the whole thing to get an image as clear as possible, even if it shows the little faults...

thank you, exactly! I love having my dreamcast display in 480p via vga on my 1080p lcd, the picture is soo crisp and sharp and I can see all the details. not all games have jaggy edges on the dc and its certainly better graphical fidelity than any console before it, and I personally think the picture of a DC is better clarity than the ps2 (BY A LONG WAY) the game cube and even the xbox 1, but that's just me lol

the Original xbox blew every other console away in terms of graphical power, and high definition. although the dreamcast was capable of 480P

I wasn't talking about graphics I meant the frames, you know? the clarity of the picture, I dont care what anyone says the original xbox and the ps2 were not true 60fps machines, the DC is the only machine that ran at a true, crystal clear 60fps

I actually have my saturn running on an svid-to-vga converter box, and some games look on par with ps2/xbox1/dc games. Granted some games also look like complete shit...

I also run a projector (Mitsubishi 1080p dlp ) on my primary setup. I havnt seen anything top this experience. The only negative is if this 3D fad wins, I'd have to revamp my main entertainment setup.
